Goddard Celina is amazing and I can’t say enough great things about this school. Their passion for the children’s growth really shines though and we’ve had an incredible experience. This is one of the best decisions we’ve made. You won’t regret it.

Although I have no kids that go here, I’ve worked with the owners, Justin and Smitha, on a few Goddard events. It is very apparent how much they care about all the children and families that come through the school. They have truly dedicated staff & teachers who are devoted to providing the best atmosphere for every child. Some teachers, like Ms. Pilar & Ms. Nidhi from the First steps class, have the hardest classrooms with their age group, and really make a strong effort to be attentive and nurturing. The same could be said for many other teachers at the school, your child would be very lucky to attend this institution.

The owners Smitha and Justin are amazing! All the teachers and office staff are so friendly and helpful. My son (and 10yo daughter who is Goddard School graduate) really feel like part of the Goddard Family as we walk out almost daily giving elbows-dabs-fives to the staff who are so kind to take the time to make my babies feel special ❤️ Love the events and the communication from the school is the perfect amount!

We have only been enrolled for a month but are having such a wonderful experience. Our 1.5 year old daughter has developed so much since she has been enrolled. Everyone is so welcoming, kind, and communicative! They offer music, life lessons, Spanish, sign language, yoga, and so much more! We’re excited to watch our daughter continue to grow and would absolutely recommend Goddard Celina!

We've had a great experience with Goddard! Our oldest graduated from pre-K and was well-prepared when starting kindergarten. The owners and all the staff are wonderful!

My wife & I took a tour of the Goddard school in Celina. We had such a wonderful experience during our tour as the owner was very thorough and detailed about what our child would receive and how they would be cared for attending this school! We were able to meet the owners and some of the staff who work there, everyone was truly kind & friendly. My wife and I are expecting to have our first child in January & we wanted to find a school where we felt comfortable and know our son will be well taken care of. We highly recommend the Goddard school of Celina!

How can this day care run like they do? I tried to schedule a tour and they said they can’t tour me for another 4 weeks?? FOUR WEEKS?? I’m assuming they do this because they have something to hide with no cameras and such. But they won’t even give prices? How do they have any kids? . Horrible customer service. I’ll take my business elsewhere

My wife and I have been very pleased with the growth we've seen from our daughter due to her being at the Goddard School - Celina. Her teachers are simply the best! They always greet us upon pick up and give a tidbit about our daughter's day. We've also been very pleased with the Directors and their communication. Would definitely recommend Goddard School - Celina to families looking for day care/schooling needs.

We’ve had an excellent experience so far. Ms. Nubia, Ms Donna and all the Directors have made our daughters transition seamless.Our daughter started off very anxious, throwing up and crying repeatedly. This made us super anxious and if we didn’t have the intentional support of everyone who dealt directly with her through out the day, we would certainly have had a rougher time. We got great updates during the day, her teachers remained patient and the directors continued to assure us that she will acclimatize. We had discussions of how best to get her comfortable and we could feel the genuine care.The strategies discussed worked! She is acclimatizing, and her daily updates give us so much joy (we eagerly look forward to them). She is thriving daily, learning and expressing new words/gestures… so great to see the positive influence so soon. We look forward to her growing and learning more within this amazing setting.

I definitely cannot say enough good things about Goddard Celina! I have high standards when it comes to childcare. After trying out many of the daycares in the area, we were finally able to happily settle in at Goddard Celina, where we truly felt comfortable leaving our kids. My daughters (one in the infant room and one in Pre-k 2) are absolutely THRIVING. Not only do I feel like the staff is helping them learn and grow, but I know they love my babies like their own. Ms. Eden, Ms. Michelle, and Ms. Dottie are so great with the littlest baby's. They are constantly moving around the room, feeding, changing, cleaning, teaching, and entertaining. They never seem frustrated or flustered, they just knock it all out with such ease. They are THE SWEETEST! My daughter in pre-k 2 seems so happy to go to school each day. Ms. G and Ms. Jackie have already taught her so much in the short time she's been in their class. Additionally, their class room management is AMAZING! They have a lot of kiddos to teach and every time I'm there, the kids in their class are well behaved, on task, and smiling. To top it all off, the owners, Justin and Smitha, as well as the entire front office staff are the best! They truly care about kids and are so down to earth. They know each kid by name and do soooo much for the families there. THANK YOU GODDARD CELINA!

My son started at Goddard Celina last year and loves it there. He is so pumped up to goto school every single morning and I think that says it all about the school and the people. It is always a pleasure to meet all his teachers and other staff. His favorites are Ms. Shelsy, Ms. Heaven, Ms. Jamie and Ms. Ashley.

My daughter has attended The Goddard School of Celina since opening their doors in January of 2020. Every teacher she has come to know and love has been an intricate part of her growth and development. Ms. Shelsy, Ms. Pilar, Ms. Burris, Ms. Amber, Ms. Amy have been pillars for her early education foundation. Sprinkling in those familiar faces that always say hello or goodbye to her is icing on the cake, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Girija, Ms. Donna, Ms. Sloan and of course Ms. Eden who has known her since birth. Knowing your child is learning is one thing, but knowing that your child is loved speaks volumes. Thank you to the dedicated teachers and staff!

Our son loves going to school everyday! Ms. Hannah and Mrs. Nidhi are amazing and he has learned so much in the time he has been there.

As a parent I wouldn’t possibly choose any other place for my son to go to school. Each one of the teachers are more than amazing! From Ms. Hannah that was very patient passing to Ms. Donna that he adores and Ms. Nubia that made it so fun for him. He talks about how smiley is Ms. Summon and I love how Ms. Kavitha takes care of him. Whenever Ms. Kim says goodbye she is loving and always very respectful to the parents. Even teachers that are not his teachers like Ms. Burris are loving and say hi whenever they encounter him.My other kids that have participated in summer camp loved having Ms. Barbara, Ms. Jordan and my now kindergarten kid says of all his teachers Ms. Jackie is his favorite teacher ever and he always had fun with Ms. Sam as well. Ms. Shelsy always greeted them very politely in her class every morning.To be honest it’s a great group of amazing educators! And it just shows the great work that is put in from the top.Biggest shout out to the Director Ms Ashley! Cherry on top the owners are just a blessing for the school!
